My uncle got me into wet shaving by giving me the supplies and a book called gourmet shaving and I love it all now. That's what led me to this site. Then I got to looking around on here and am now going to take up classic penmanship. I am going to buy 3 pens online. I am thinking about Noodlers Ahab, pilot prera, and am undecided on my third. I like very fine lines. I use only .5 sized lead in my mechanical pencils, I use fine ballpoints opposed to gel pens because it's too broad. I chose the Ahab because of it's flex nib. I chose the pilot because of it's fine Japanese nib which is supposedly nice and thin on the ink release. I want a third option, and would like to know if these two are good options too. I'd like to keep it in the 20-40 dollar range. I don't really want to spend much over 100 on these three pens so "entry-level" is my thing right now. Also would like them to be refillable. Don't like the idea of cartridges. And, ink and paper suggestions would be nice too. I know there are probably threads that address all of this but thought I would go on and post about my personal preferences for more personal decision making help. Love the forum, thanks.
